Sesko travelled to the University of Kansas last month to give an invited talk titled: “The consequences of historical representations for stereotyping and perceived behavioral attributes of Alaska Native people.”

The publication is edited by Susan Kollin of Montana State University and includes a chapter contributed by former faculty member Sarah Jaquette Ray.
